U.S. Thanksgiving turkey prices go up

Americans ushered in the traditional holiday Thanksgiving on the 25th, which marks the official start of the Christmas shopping season and also means that tens of millions of Americans will travel and return home to reunite with their loved ones. This is also the second Thanksgiving Day that the United States has ushered in under the impact of the new crown epidemic. Faced with problems such as the rebound of the epidemic, weak economic growth, and rising prices, many Americans have spent the holiday week in anxiety.

This week of Thanksgiving, the nationwide epidemic data was shocking, and the risk of the epidemic getting out of control increased. During Thanksgiving this year, the scale of American travel is expected to return to the level before the epidemic, and the number of people traveling by plane alone will reach 20 million. With the increase in superimposed gathering activities, this Thanksgiving Day is raising concerns about the intensified rebound of the epidemic. What is even more worrying is that even though the new crown vaccine is sufficient, some people are still reluctant to get it, and epidemic prevention measures such as vaccination and wearing masks have been severely politicized. The epidemic situation is still very serious. You cannot relax. Wear masks when you go out. If you go to crowds, you can wear disposable breathable microporous coverall to protect yourself and your family.

This week of Thanksgiving, inflation in various fields has intensified and the supply of goods is insufficient. Some consumers can't even buy turkey. Supermarket operator Tim Foss said that supply chain issues have caused shortages of traditional Thanksgiving products such as turkey, cranberries, and frozen pies. Some economists said that this year's Thanksgiving holiday was particularly severely affected by the supply chain. After the unprecedented port congestion and shortage of truck drivers in the United States, the prices of daily consumer goods have risen in general, and some places have even become out of stock.

Finally, I still hope that all American friends can have a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year.
